I had the GPS on from when I left The Woodlands until I got home but we actually started the ride at 290/Cypresswood and ended at 1488/Honea - Egypt. My total mileage was 159; moving time of 3:18; stationary time of 0:53; moving average speed was 47.8 mph; max speed was... well, let's just say we were moving right along.

There was a couple on a Harley at King's who carried their dog in the top box behind them. It was great to see and I wanted to take a photo but the camera had gotten hot in the tank bag and the battery wouldn't power it up. They even had "doggles" for the dog to wear.

There are a few more photos that Greg (Turbine50) took here.
